The aim of our research is to evaluate the advantage by the combined use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and laryngeal mask during the performance of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in an intensive care unit.Patients: 16 adult patients who were candidates to middle-long term mechanical ventilation.Environment: Intensive Care Unit of a Community General Hospital.Results: We experienced 3 minor complications (2 minor bleedings and 1 neck emphysema). Difficulties were found in 3 patients with particular anatomical conformation (obese patients with short neck and limited mobility of the cervical spine).Conclusion: The combined use of fiberoptic tracheo-bronchoscopy with the laryngeal mask permits a better endoscopic visualisation of the operatory field, providing a more secure and precise procedure.
